Artist Statement
Wanda Gillespie’s practice explores ideas of history, time, truth and mysticism. Drawing inspiration from ancient artefacts and the mathematical harmonies found in nature, her work often takes the form of interactive abacus sculptures alongside hand-carved figurative and portrait sculptures in wood. Through these forms, Gillespie reflects on systems of knowledge, belief and measurement, and the ways unseen structures shape human experience.
